Abhishek Nigam commented on KAFKA-1778: --------------------------------------- I believe what you are suggesting is that we can have a group of brokers flagged as potential brokers and all controller elections will be limited to that subset of brokers. Do I need to provide any failsafe in case all the flagged brokers are not able to participate in the required election and we are controller-less? -Abhishek > Create new re-elect controller admin function > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1778 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1778 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Joe Stein > Assignee: Abhishek Nigam > Fix For: 0.8.3 > > > kafka --controller --elect -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
